Permissible deviations of furniture facades. Professional Consumer Protection Not Defects

Each of us, probably, at least once in his life ordered furniture: someone bought a wardrobe according to an exhibition model, someone ordered according to sketches, someone individual sizes. The purchase, as a rule, was paid immediately in full or in part. But then some buyers began to have problems: then Furniture not delivered on time then brought furniture of the wrong color, size or inconsistent with the sketch, then brought defective furniture, they received a shortage, for example, without facades. Then the following troubles followed: they do not respond to claims, they do not take the brought furniture, they do not return the money. Many people wait half a year for the seller to deign to observe the rights of the consumer. We must not wait, but act.

What to do if furniture is not delivered on time?

Without fail, when prepaying for the goods, a contract is concluded, in which the delivery time of the furniture must be indicated. If the delivery is delayed through no fault of yours, write a claim to the seller. You can install new term or demand a refund, as well as payment of a penalty for the delay.

What to do if you brought furniture of the wrong color or incomplete furniture (missing, facades, fittings, any of the cabinets, etc.)?

Furniture of a different color or incomplete set is a discrepancy with the order you made, i.e. in other words, non-performance of the contract. In this case, you can also talk about a violation of the terms of delivery of a prepaid product or a low-quality service for the manufacture of furniture (it all depends on the type of your contract: for manufacturing or purchase according to a model)

If you find a discrepancy between the furniture and your order immediately upon acceptance, then reflect this in the acceptance certificate.

If you cannot check right away, then you do not need to sign in the act that you have no claims. It happens that cunning sellers slip forms of acceptance and transfer certificates, in which you certify with one signature that you accept and have no complaints. Do this: write with your own hand the phrase: “The goods have been accepted, I will inform you about the presence or absence of claims after installation (assembly, unpacking)” and put a signature next to it.

In case of detection shortcomings (), incompleteness, violations of sketches, discrepancies in color, size, report this to the seller (manufacturer) in a written form.

In such cases, you you can demand a penalty, demand a refund or set a new deadline for the seller.

What penalty can be demanded if the furniture was not delivered on time?

The amount of the penalty is established by the Law "On Protection of Consumer Rights".

If you have a contract for the purchase of furniture, then the penalty is 0.5% of the prepaid amount for each day of delay. At the same time, the amount of the penalty is limited by law and cannot exceed the amount of the advance payment.

If the contract is for the manufacture of furniture according to individual parameters, then this is a service, and a penalty of 3% per day of the price of services. More about

The seller is obliged to pay the penalty on a voluntary basis, but be sure to declare your desire to receive it to the seller in writing.

What is the time period for a refund if the furniture is not delivered, the furniture was delivered in the wrong color and not replaced?

If you decide not to wait, but to return the money and told the seller about it, then he must return the money within 10 days from the date of such a request.

What to do if the furniture is not delivered and the money is not returned?

In this case, don't wait. It is necessary to go to court and recover in court both the cost of furniture, and the penalty, and compensation for moral damage, and a fine for non-fulfillment of consumer requirements on a voluntary basis.

Even if the cost of furniture is 50 thousand rubles, 100 thousand or more can be recovered in court: prepayment for furniture + penalty + compensation for moral damage + fine

Decree Arbitration Court of the North Caucasian District of August 18, 2014 N F08-5296 / 14 in the case N A63-8929 / 2013



The Arbitration Court of the North Caucasian District, composed of the presiding Rogalsky C.The., judges Kukhar The.F. and Chesnyak H.The., with participation in the hearing, from the plaintiff - Limited Liability Company "KMV Imperial" (TIN 2630801194, OGRN 1122651006917) - Maltseva Yew.C. (director) and Melnikova G.A. (power of attorney dated 01/09/2014), from the defendant - individual entrepreneur Bondarenko Galina Nikolaevna (TIN 263400239610, OGRN 304263523600292) - Polyankina A.A. and Grunis E.I. (power of attorney dated 03/06/2014), having considered the cassation appeal of an individual entrepreneur Bondarenko G.N. on the decision of the Arbitration Court of the Stavropol Territory of February 12, 2014 (Judge Yermilova Y.V.) and the decision of the Sixteenth Arbitration Court of Appeal of May 20, 2014 (Judges Godilo N.N., Beytuganov Z.A., Zhukov E.V.) in the case N A63-8929/2013, established the following.

KMV Imperial LLC (hereinafter referred to as the Company) filed a claim with the Arbitration Court of the Stavropol Territory against individual entrepreneur Bondarenko G.N. on the recovery of 800 thousand rubles of advance payment for office furniture, 3850 rubles of interest for the use of other people's in cash and 44,776 rubles 38 kopecks of court costs.

By the decision of February 12, 2014, left unchanged by the decision of the Court of Appeal of May 20, 2014, the debt and interest in the claimed amount, as well as 24,871 rubles 50 kopecks of court costs, were collected from the defendant in favor of the plaintiff. The courts found that the goods supplied by the entrepreneur had significant irreparable defects, did not correspond to the samples offered to the buyer, which, by virtue of Article 475 of the Civil Code Russian Federation(hereinafter referred to as the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) allows the buyer to refuse to perform the contract.

In the appeal businessman Bondarenko G.N. asks to cancel the judicial acts and dismiss the claim. The Applicant points out that the conclusion of the forensic examination does not contain any conclusions about the unrecoverable nature of the defects found in the goods or the need for disproportionate costs or time spent to eliminate them. The identified defects relate to defects in the assembly made by the plaintiff, are not significant and do not give the buyer the right to demand a refund of the amount paid. Part of the furniture - the negotiating table - no defects were found, therefore, there are no grounds for the return of the entire prepayment. In accordance with the contract concluded by the parties, a slight difference in the shade of furniture from the sample, deviation from overall dimensions within 2 cm is not a marriage. different height chairs due to their different purposes.

Society in response to the cassation appeal asks to leave the judicial acts unchanged.

Having studied the materials of the case, after hearing the representatives of the parties, the Arbitration Court of the North Caucasus District considers that there are no grounds for satisfying the cassation appeal.

According to the contract-order dated 06/03/2013, entrepreneur Bondarenko G.N. (seller) undertook to deliver to the company (buyer) the office furniture specified in the specification at a cost of 800 thousand rubles no later than 45 days from the date of signing the contract. The buyer undertakes to pre-pay 100% of the cost of the goods. Assembly of furniture is carried out at the request of the buyer for a fee. The parties agreed that a slight difference in the shade of the fabric (skin) from the sample, or a slight difference in the color of the decor from the sample is not a marriage; deviation from the overall dimensions within 2 cm. The ownership of the goods passes to the buyer from the moment of full payment of its cost (paragraph 4.3 of the contract). A high-quality product cannot be returned or exchanged, since the transferred furniture has individual properties (colors and configurations) and can only be used by the buyer who purchases it (clause 4.5).

In accordance with the specification, the subject of delivery was: a set of furniture "DAVOS" color "palisander" for the office of the head, including an armchair for the head (leather), 8 chairs for the conference table (leather); set of furniture "DELTA SYSTEM" color "ebony" for the secretary's office.

The Company transferred 800 thousand rubles to the entrepreneur by payment orders dated 06/04/2013 N 872 and 07/03/2013 N 1004.

According to the consignment note dated 08.07.2013 N 57, the seller delivered the goods, however, upon acceptance, it was found that 4 fasteners for twisting were missing desk and a negotiating table, as noted in the consignment note. Acceptance has been rescheduled.

The court found that on July 17, 2013, after the furniture was assembled by the representatives of the defendant, the representatives of the parties jointly examined the delivered and assembled goods, revealing defects in its quality.

These circumstances are reflected in the company's claim dated 07/19/2013, which describes in detail the identified shortcomings (difference in color of the negotiating table and a desk with a pedestal; difference in material inside table (plastic) from the sample (wood); scratches and deformations; the difference between the negotiating table in shape (rectangular) from the sample (oval); different shape of the bend of the armrests, different colour and the size of seats of the same purpose, etc.). The entrepreneur is offered to return the amount of money paid within 5 (five) banking days from the date of receipt of the claim.

In response to a claim dated 07/31/2013, the entrepreneur acknowledged the fact that the furniture was assembled by his employees, the presence of chips and scratches discovered during the continuation of the acceptance of the goods, stipulating that these defects were not present at the time of the initial delivery. The entrepreneur also pointed out that the color "rosewood" allows the difference in shades of products from each other, since when hand made it is impossible to repeat products exactly. different shape armrests of two chairs for a briefing console from the remaining six - for the negotiating table, according to the entrepreneur, agreed with the client when ordering. This is also the reason for the differences in size. The seller pointed out that the shortcomings listed in the claim are not, but, nevertheless, can be eliminated as soon as possible. At the same time, referring to the Law of February 7, 1992 N 2300-1 "On the Protection of Consumer Rights" and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 19, 1998 N 55 on the list of non-food products of good quality, the businessman refused to return the money, since office furniture return and exchange is not subject to.

According to the conclusion of the forensic examination dated December 23, 2013, the furniture examined by the expert does not correspond to the samples from the catalog (inadmissible defect); upholstery chairs, declared as leather, in reality is both natural and faux leather, and the area of ​​artificial exceeds the area of ​​natural (violation of the requirements of GOST); in the drawer of the cabinet - jamming of the lock (manufacturing defect); a gap in the joints of parts and a skewing of vertical shields (an unacceptable defect); technological holes are not closed with plugs (assembly defect); different color armrests (manufacturing defect). The conclusion also indicates other unacceptable according to GOST and manufacturing defects, as well as other defects (scratches, chips, abrasions), which may be related to transportation shortcomings. At the same time, the expert did not find any visible defects in operation, noting that the examined furniture does not apply to furniture made according to custom order, presented in the catalog "Office Furniture" trademark Pointex.

In accordance with Article 518 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the buyer (recipient), to whom goods of inadequate quality have been delivered, has the right to present to the supplier the requirements provided for in Article 475 of the Code, except for the case when the supplier, having received the buyer's notification of defects in the delivered goods, will immediately replace the delivered goods with goods of proper quality. quality.

In the case under consideration, the seller refused to replace the goods, without explaining in what other way the quality defects could be eliminated as soon as possible (reply to the claim).

Article 476 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides that the seller is liable for the defects of the goods if the buyer proves that the defects of the goods arose before it was transferred to the buyer or for reasons that arose before that moment.

According to Article 475 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in the event of a significant violation of the requirements for the quality of goods (detection of irreparable shortcomings, shortcomings that cannot be eliminated without disproportionate costs or time, or are detected repeatedly, or reappear after their elimination, and other similar shortcomings) the buyer has the right, at his choice: to refuse to fulfill the contract of sale and demand the return of the amount of money paid for the goods; demand the replacement of goods of inadequate quality with goods that comply with the contract.

Having assessed the actual circumstances of the case and the results of the examination, the courts came to a reasonable conclusion that the goods supplied by the entrepreneur had significant shortcomings, giving the plaintiff the right to demand the return of the amount of money paid for the goods.

The entrepreneur did not refute the conclusions of the courts. The reference in the cassation appeal to the absence in the expert opinion of a conclusion on whether the identified shortcomings are significant is subject to rejection. The expert rightfully refused to answer the third question put to him - whether the identified defects significant shortcomings, indicating that it legal issue, not related to the competence of the commodity expert, and operated with the concept of "inadmissible defect". The defendant points out that a slight difference in the shades of furniture from the sample is not a defect under the terms of the contract. However, the evidence available in the case confirmed the difference in color of furniture not only from the sample, but also individual elements furniture among themselves, which does not correspond to the terms of the contract and the photographs of the catalog (attached to the case file).

The unacceptable defects listed in the opinion are sufficient to apply the consequences specified in Article 475 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, regardless of the presence of other defects in the furniture that could be eliminated without disproportionate costs or time.

The arguments set forth in the cassation appeal are aimed at reassessing the evidence and factual circumstances, which is not within the powers of the cassation court.

The violations provided for by Article 288 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation as grounds for the annulment of judicial acts have not been established.

Guided by articles 284, 286, 287, 289 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, the Arbitration Court of the North Caucasus District

RESOLVED:

the decision of the Arbitration Court of the Stavropol Territory dated February 12, 2014 and the decision of the Sixteenth Arbitration Court of Appeal dated May 20, 2014 in case N A63-8929 / 2013 are left unchanged, the cassation appeal is not satisfied.
